Ha! chilling, something I thought I was doing and realized I wasn't. A friend once said to me when I asked for advice on a "laptop" or "desktop"? He said "get a laptop and go to Starbucks and "chill" I boldly proclaimed "I do not chill". I said this because in my mind I was already chilling.
All this time I was under the impression of something but just found out today, I was not (chilling)!
The art of relaxing is something that does not come easy. To sit and do something you thoroughly enjoy is difficult. To sit and do nothing but observe and listen, is even more challenging than I thought and oddly one of the things I like doing and realized how little of it I had been doing it and hadn't done it in so long that it came as a bit of a shock how much I truly missed it and how it was affecting me. It was disconcerting, but I did not think it was that big of a deal. So today I did it I went to the neighborhood Starbucks, ordered my usual quad-venti-iced raspberry-mocha, sat down on a nice comfortable sofa and "chilled". Wow, how good it felt sitting and observing all the costumers come in and order their regular, some were recognized by the servers and you would here them call out the drink order. Then all would find a place to sit and have quiet conversations. While i just sat there and watched and took notes on my "blackberry". Now i am in a better mood and i am ready to start filling "The Blog" with more observations. This is what i was missing.....So now i wonder....what are you missing? Is it a bit of CHILL time or something else, find out what IT is and do IT....... It might make all the difference.
